If you want "real" java vm alternatives instead of just symbolic links to 1.60 in JavaVM.framework/Versions/, I suggest you just install them from the Leopard java 1.5 update 5 installer using Pacifist. Problem solved and nothing is going to silently bite you. Takes all of 2 minutes to just set it and forget it. Works for me. YMMV. :-)

Hello;

I seem to have problems with the "DataSource" API change between 1.6 and 1.5 which only seem to be able to be resolved by reverting to a 1.5 javac –– has anybody else worked around this?

cheers.

I'm trying to figure out how to build WO 5.3.3 apps under 10.6, to be deployed on 10.4 (with java 1.5). I would normally build my apps on the development box with ant, then move them over. I got the impression from something I read (no idea where, now) that you could use Snow Leopard's java 1.6 compiler to build 1.5-compliant apps. I don't think the Eclipse Java -> Compiler -> compliance level affects what ant does, neither from within Eclipse, nor (of course) from the command line.

I've seen suggestions to add source and target attributes to the wocompile task. I assume that means something like this:
<wocompile srcdir="Sources" destdir="bin" source="1.5" target="1.5">

We are setting the compiler compliance level and using the source and target values in our wocompile tasks and building WO5.3.3 apps for deployment on Tiger and Leopard server without issue.

Application.class: compiled Java class data, version 49.0 (Java 1.5)
